Application filed December 29, 1917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, ALFRED H. HUMPHBEY,

economial in structure.

becond, to provide an improved stove which is ornamental in character, the ornamental. features at the same time possessing structural advantages.

Third, to provide an improved gas stove in which the parts subjected to heat may be formed of material. particular-1v well adapted to withstand the heat.

Further obiects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. [The invention is clearly defined. and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure l is a front perspective view of a gas stove embodying the features ofmy invention. 1 i

Fig. II is a perspective view of the body or casing member somewhat reduced.

Fig. HT is a detail horizontal section through the radiating elements and fire back on a line corresponding to line 33 of Figs.

1V and V.

F TV is a detail vertical section on a line corresponding to line 44 of Figs. Ill and V, the fire back being shown in front elevation. I

Fig. V is a detail end view with the easing or body member removed.

l V1 is a perspective view of the base wit part of the burner plate supporting bracket broken away.

In the drawing similiar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 209,536.

Referring to the drawings, I provide a base .1, preferably a casting, having a central rectangular opening 2 therein. The base illustrated is provided with legs 3. I provide a burner plate 4 which in the structure illustrated has a plurality of burner openings 5, a channel 6 at the rear of the openings, a flange 7 at the front and lugs 8 positioned between the openings. This plate is supported in an elevated position above the opening 2 of the base by means of the yoke-shaped bracket 9 which has laterally extending ends 10 secured to the under side of the base 1 by the screws 11. burner plate is secured to the cross portion of the yoke by means of the screws 12. The

' multiple burner 13 has a plurality of burner tips 14- which are disposed in alinement with the burner openings 5. The burner 13 has projecting lugs 15 at its ends secured to the depending lugs 16 by means of the screws 17.

The gas supply pipe 18 is connected to the burner from the rear. The delivery of to the burner iscontrolled by a valve having a stem 19 projecting centrally at the front below the base.

A fire back 20 of earthenware material is mounted in the channel 6 of the burnerplate. In front of the fire back 20 and between. the flange 7 and positioning lugs 8 I arrange the radiants or radiating elements 21 which are positioned and supported by these'parts above the burner openings and, the burner tips. These radiants aretubular in form with openings of suitable design, the openings of the radiants shown being more or less conventional.

I provide a body member 22, preferably of earthenware material consisting of a back wall portion 23, end wall portions 24 and a front portion 25. The body member is of such size as to embrace the burner plate and the tire back and rest upon the base plate, no attaching means to the base plate 1 0 being required as the body member when formed of earthenware material is of considerable weight. The front portion 25 is disposed below and in front of the burner plate so that the radiants are exposed. To prevent the radiants tilting forwardly 'I provide a cross rod 26 carried by the body member.

With the parts thus arranged they are comparatively simple and economical to produce and assemble. The structure is highly ornamental in appearance and well adapted for use in a grate in lieu of a gas log or the like.

provements in oneailtfifl I have" illustrated through, a burner plate having burner openings therein supported on said base in an elevated position above said opening therein, a multiple burner disposed in said base and provided with burner tips alined with said burner openings of said burner plate,

a fireback removably seated onsaid burner plate radiating elements removably seated on said burner plate in front of said fireback and above said burner openings, and a body member of earthenware material having a vertical opening therethrough disposed on said base and surrounding the parts of the burner above the base, the burner plate and fireback, and constituting a housing therefor, said body member being removable in dependently of said fireback and radiating elements, the upper portion of the front wall oftsaid body member being omitted to expose the radiants.

2. In a gas stove, the combination of a supporting base having an opening therethrough, a burner plate having burner openings therein supported on said base in an elevated position above said opening therein, a multiple burner disposed in. said base I rea ies and provided with burner tips alinedwith a fire back' removably seated on said burner plate, radiating elements removably aseated on said burner plate'in front of said fireback and above said vburner openings, and a body'member having a vertical opening therethrough disposed on the base and surrounding the parts of'the burner above the base, said burner plate and fireback, and constituting a housing therefor, said body member-being removable independently of said fireback and radiating elements, the up h per portion'of the front wall of said body member being omitted to eXposethe radiants. i i

3. In gas stove, the combination of a supporting base having anopening therethrough, a burner plate having burner openings therein supported on said base in an elevated position above said opening therein, a multiple burner disposed in said base and provided With burner tips alined with said'burner openings of said burner plate, a fireback removably seated on said burner plate, radiating elements removably seated on said burner'plate in front of said fireback and above said burner openings,

end

and a body member comprising back, and front walls disposed on said base and surrounding the parts of the burner above the base, the burner plate and fireback, and constituting a housing therefor, said 'body member being removable independently of said firebacl; and radiating elements, the upper edge of the "front wall being in about the plane of the burner plate to expose the radiants.

said burner openings of said'burner plate,

In witness whereof'l have hereunto set my hand and seal.

ALFRED it. HUMPHREY. 11.5.
